restoring a bricked phone - Touch 3G ROM Development

any ideas.......read all the threads here, nothing works.
i had the 1.7 orange version. hardspl'd it and put a 6.5 dev on there, but radio quality was poor. so followed the procedure to put the stockspl back on there. But nothing else works, I can't restore the original rom (grabbed from here) as the screen stays at 0%. tried to hardspl it again but that doesn't work either.
what do i do now .........?
thanks.

Was restoring the stockspl succesfull?
What info do you get in bootloader?

The info is:
JADE110 64M
SPL-1.40.0000
MicroP-Jade (LED) v5
It still has windows 6.5 rom on there tho, which is seriously messed up now.

Am afraid you have a problem, you should have down it the other way around...first stock ROM then stock SPL.....but this is merely a fact then helping you out, i have absolutely no clue how to go from here...sorry!

Maybe someone who can offer some practical assistance will be along soon ......
@Nirak: yes, I misread it. What a silly thing to do. Do you think HTC can help. The phone is in warranty.

Well, since you've got stock SPL on it you could give it a try. When they start asking questions you could say you tried to install a WM 6.5 ROM by accident.., dunno if they buy it...
But on the other hand, being honest is maybe better, they might just help you out or else you have to pay, but since you have a rather expensive paperweight right now, this might be an option too.
BTW.. did you try to contact one of the releasers of the HardSPL? (Cmonex or Olipro), you never know where they can come up with....

May be they will see this thread. .... otherwise how can I contact them?
Thanks for the ideas.

Have you tried to flash your rom through the boot loader mode

try this
hi
try this
1. do HSPL on ur phone again using the tools given in the thread
2.after successful HSPL Flash the Stoc rom the right one for ur phone
3.then flash the Stock SPL again the right spl for ur phone
this is just my suggestion i hope ur successful and it helps to solve ur problem
goodluck

Doesn't work because it needs a functioning windows mobile, which I don't have. Mine gets stuck.

Yes, nothing happens. The screen is stuck at 0%. I tried using a htc original rom, it got to 1% and said something like not suitable for this device.

I sure this sounds rather silly ,and I am sure you have tried it,have you tried removing the battery and then putting it back again.

Not sure if you tried this already:
Run HardSPL when your phone is in tricolor mode (bootloader?).
Then reflash a stock ROM, also in tricolor mode.
Finally, flash stock SPL.
Hope this helps.

@izzysc: I have tried it (will try again though) in running HardSPL when phone is in tricolor mode. It did not work.

I have the same problem. IPL and SPL 2.15.00001 and tryed to downgrade but after restart it does not power on. Tried everything but no way to power on. Is somebody know how to make it work again.
Regards,
You guys tried to flash a G3 Rom on your G4 Wizard.
So your bootloader (IPL/SPL) that is 2.xx.0001 is overwritten by a G3 bootloader that is 2.xx, so in other words....your devices are bricked.
Please someone, correct me if I am wrong.
Molski
yup, I agree. Bricked hopefully someone can fine the JTag on these devices.
Wow that sucks! Full moon over Miami last night, naw that can't be it .....
Sorry but unfortunately I must follow my Grandmother's advice concerning when I don't have anything nice to say...
R there NO ALTERNATIVE WAY for THIS?? HOPE we can help those people that made a mistake by upgrading to a ROM that doesnt fit to their WIZARD. due maybe because of TOO XCITEMENT they forgot to CHECK FIRST(PLS! ALWAYS CHECK FIRST) their IPL/SPL.
HOPE those master GURU's can do something!
So, please someone tell clearly how to know G3 or G4 of the Wizard
thanks so much
Sorry but I have no more tolerance for people who just jump in first without doing a little research. A while back when the G4 first came out we didn't know. Now everyone who puts out a ROM warns people about the possible consequences. And there's so many threads on just the first page with tales of woe... how can a person miss them all??
I'm sorry but my parents raised me to take responsibility for my own actions, as Baretta used to say" Don't do the crime if you can't do the time"
Similar to when a Cat 4 hurricane is coming at you and you don't leave after being warned.... then blaiming everyone but yourself...
And if anyone wants to rebute me on this, don't bother as I've neither the time nor the patience.
Bottom line is that flashing phones has the very real possiblity of trashing an expensive piece of hardware in a very short period of time. If one has any doubts, then they shouldn't do it! And if a person doesn't have a concern initially then they're asking for trouble.
Sorry....

The problem is that if your bootloader (IPL/SPL) is fuc*ed up, there is no way to get it in bootloader mode to do a flash!
Only known solution is with JTAG connector, but that solution is not a clear solution yet, but I dont know nothing about that solution (simply...because I never needed it).

I knew I have a G4 and can't upgrade/downgrade with G3 roms or even change IPL/SPL, but I did that :]
Just found ROM v2.22.1 (I think), like my original Wizard's was. I was so happy that I found it, that I forgot about G3 chips existence 8)
Well, ROM was for G3 -_-
Just ran too fast and slipped. Maybe I got that speed after very often Pioneer BCT 1430 flashing. It is just immortal :]
well i know about the G3 and G4 but the rom that i downloaded from doesn't say anything about support G3 or G4 thats why i consider this rom doesn't included IPL and SPL just like the custom rom been make from other member.
Damn now i have to send my phone back to factory for fixing it. Lucky i still have a warranty of it.

I do feel for you. I believe that the best thing that we can do is to not even make G3 ROM's available to the general public. Maybe all new ROM releases should be IPL/SPL - less. If one needs a ROM that will upgrade their bootloader they'll have to request a password protected file.
I just dunno...

...which is one of the reasons why carriers make it so hard to flash a ROM from one carrier to the device of another.
Qtek 9100 half bricked
Hi Molski
I'm new here.Just 'd like to know if you could support me on this matter.
Here we go...
I've flashed my 9100 from wwe to esn (spanish) with the ROM 1.3.7.5 or something like this.
This is the problem...I got a power failure in the middle of the flashing process.So now the device isnt able to start up it didnt install the OS properly.
Now it says:
IPL 2.24 (i managed to flash the ipl n spl)
SPL 2.24
OS 1.3.7.5
But I'm pretty sure that there's no OS watsoever because after keep trying flashing with other ROM in bootload mode.I finally managed with an Orange of 34 mb it updated the ROM,that is the IPL And SPL and with the process was running I've noticed the screen got blank and updated it properly.I was realy happy when I saw it but even though it did it properly I still got the same problem.The pda doesnt start up.When I flashed it for the first time I did it with care,followed all the instructions,that is, unlocked the CID first etc.But had the damn joy of getting a power failure in the middle of it.
I'm just wondering if one of you would be able to gimme a light on it.I've tried everything but flashing it with a G4 ROM coz I know it wont work.

Maybe CID Lock problem ? NEED HELP !!!!

Hi, After the soft reset comand, I removed the battery from my Wizard. After that the followin problem was appear: the phone is bringing up to the splash screen and STOP on this position.I have tried to download another Rom but the problem still is the same. My Phone is not CID unlock and before this, I cooked own rom like is writen here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=271043 . So any idea how to wake-up my phone MDA Vario.
Ok forgive me if I'm wrong here, I don't really want to judge before I know the full story, but seems to me your brain went on strike momentarily. First rule of flashing any unofficial rom CID UNLOCK YOUR DEVICE. Anyways sorry, I just wanted to say something so it doesn't happen to you again, that said, what rom did you try to upgrade to? what rom did you try to downgrade to after that? is your device a G3 or G4?
If your device is a G3 I would recommend downgrading to this rom by xelecin
ftp://xda:[email protected]_RUU_Wizard_1081002_108_10910_ENG_US.exe
it will ask you if you want to CID unlock your device at the start so you shouldn't need to worry about forgetting this time , if you can't connect your device to activesync just go into the bootloader (hold the camera, voice dial buttons while pressing the reset button) and once it connects run the set-up.
Oh another thing before I forget..... do some searching and read up a bit, because this is a pretty common topic on this forum, best of luck and hope everything works out ok. If not, report back.
*edit* I just noticed the thread that you linked to, I actually wasn't aware that this was possible, but anyways I think it's still much safer to CID unlock your device if possible, and another thing you might try replying in that thread if it doesn't work out since they should be more knowledgeable in the matter..... and that would help keep the forums less cluttered *edit*
Thanks, for your help, Unfortunately you are totaly right for my stupid act (again). At first i tried to solve the problem alone , but whole day I roam through this forum to find solution but I can't find the same problem like my. Maybe because of my ..... brain .Anyway I am with G3. NOW I have
IPL 1.0
SPL 2.26
GSM 01.09.11
OS 1.5.4.2
This is after this procedure http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=263116
I tried also to download also and Molski's 2.26.10.2 AKU2.3 Rom a.k.a. 2.26.10.2 Final Edition Rom, but the problem is the same : The splash screen is running and STOP and.... nothing.
I can go to bootloader and can download new rom, but I can't start fhe phone.
Yeah I know these forums aren't the easiest in which to look for info. So you can go into the bootloader, that's good. Don't try to go to a AKU2.x rom or later, keep it under that, so no 2.26 roms at all. 105, or 108 roms should be good.
Did you try the rom from the link I provided or the one on the thread? and afterwards did it go into the phone at all? My friends MDA had a similar problem last week, caused by the same thing, though in your case I see the SPL isn't updating when you install new roms on his it was the os that wasn't updating, but as soon as I installed that rom I recommended it booted up fine, then I updated his device to molski's 2.3.
I'll check back in a few so let me know how's it going.
Here's what you need to know & if you follow these instructions your prob will be solved.

Ok, but tell me how to solve this :
"qiote"
8. Open ActiveSync, Explore and copy enablerapi.cab from your PC's C:\ (remember that's where you extracted lokiwiz to...) to you device, I don't care where.
9. Pick up your PDA, File Explorer, find the enablerapi.cab and click it.
"quote"
I don't have access to the phone explorer and phone at all.
masr1979 I have tried the rom you give me, but it look like there is some things I don't understand: When I start the exe file i have choice <continue> .Whet I type <c> 2(two) time the soft tell me <no device found> and order me to continue with copy ???. After few seconds tell me that Unlocker ..... Done!, and start HTC wizard Unlocker and NOTHING !!! Stop on this position more then 15 min. and only the led for charging on the phone is active.
Forget all about unlocking. Until you can boot the device completely it'll never work.
Try and install an official 2.x ROM on your device.
My suspicion is that you originally has a G4 device, which is bad because if you DID have a G4 you have a brick now...
Can you remember your phones old ipl/spl? for your sake I hope it wasn't something in this format 2.XX.000X.

Is it posible some one to give me some link to official 2.x ROM but for T-mobile german language.
Well the other day I tried finding that german rom for a while.... that search was going nowhere, I saw this thread, I don't know if you might want to check into it and maybe try it out. There's mixed results apparently but who knows

[Walkthrough] How to fix your bricked phone

So, you've decided that your shiny new toy isn't very well setup by default. You flashed a ROM and lo and behold, you missed some instruction somewhere and now you think it's bricked.
Here's the good news:
It's not bricked!!
Bricked means that it's dead and it's in no way or shape recoverable.
There is still a chance. (As long as you didn't try to hardSPL with another Device's SPL...)
All you have to do is:
For the WING:
Hold the Camera button and WHILE holding it, soft reset the device (that means press the little hole above the memory card with the stylus.) That will bring you to the bootloader. Now download the appropiate RUU and run that program. A few minutes later and your new shiny toy is back to it's crappy OEM but working self!
I'll put in links for those who can't find them...
Here's tmobile's ROM.
WOW! That´s all??
Ok - then provide us a link to a XDA Terra RUU!!!!!!
hahahaha. Thanks for this help. Maby for some people it is usefull - but written 1000 times before.

I used the hardSPL from this thread..
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=358225
It worked successfully and I was able to restart into WM6. Then I tried loading the TouchIT 4.4 and it installed cleanly with no errors. But when I went to restart it, my Wing just sits there at the CanonYang boot screen and never changes.
I tried using the steps here to restore the tmo default rom, but it after 1% on the progress bar, the screen goes blank and the CanonYang screen comes back. Is there anything I can do?
edit: I can get to the bootloader screen with the color bars. I'm not sure if this additional info will be of any help.

SPL 4.70.yang!!! your device is HARD-SPL!!
So going back to stockrom--> delete the SPL.nbh from EVERY RUU you are running.
Then it shouldn´t stop......
Big Thanks papa! That did the trick. My Wing is happy once again and running Open Touch. But I still want to give TouchIt another try.
And what if i cant find stock RUU mine came with some arabic keyboard and spl was 1.08 , thanks to Oli he didnt mention that SPL should be 4 or higher , so device is bricked since first Olis release and no way to find this arabic stock RUU.
Any Help ?????
Hitec
If the device had an spl of 1.08 prior to HardSPLing it, then you'll have to bring the device to your nearest repair center. There isn't a way around that. Oli doesn't know everything and that's the risk we take when we try new and experimental things that people create but have no way of testing. But, we live and learn. If it wasn't for that issue, you could always cook your own ROM and if the HardSPL was working, you could've easily flashed any ROM. But the keyboard wouldn't been wrong until you could find someone who had the correct keyboard and you extracted the ROM from it and cooked that keyboard driver into your ROM.
Oh noooo!!
Hi ivanmmj,
I used your guide to flashing my HTC P4350 at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=358615.
It was in French and I wanted it in English. So I downloaded one of the official HTC ROMs "HTC_P4350_WWE_4.17.405.2_4.1.13.44_02.94.90_Ship.exe" assuming this was the English one because all the others couldn't have been.
I copied the "RUU_signed.nbh" from the above HTC ROM and put it into the RUU folder as instructed by yourguide (I didn't copy the SPL.nbh file). I then ran the herald-uspl.exe and everything went fine until the RUU utility stopped with the error "invalid vender ID".
The RUU exited without completing, now all I get when the device boots is the screen giving my IPL (1.08.001) and SPL (1.08.001). How do I flash another ROM from this state? I can't do it the "normal" way because ActiveSync can't see the device. When I try to use the RUU tool that comes with your tool, the progress bar shows then it says the tool can't be used with my device.
Someone please help!

Oh wow. I'm so sorry. I think I may have forgotten to put up a warning for people that have an SPL lower than 4.0. Was your SPL lower than 4.0? If it was, you cannot use the USPL OR the HardSPL and they end up writing part of the ROM over your current SPL and brick the device. This, unfortunately, needs to be fixed by your local repair center. I'll talk to the Mods about unlocking that thread so that I can update it.

Oh deary me! I am so dead now - I live in Tanzania, East-Africa. My "local" repair center is several hundred thousand miles away across The Big Blue. What exactly do the repair center folks do to fix the device? Perhaps I can soldier out myself with some guidance...
Thank you,

I really am going crazy with this rom flashing stuff. I have read the wiki for 2 days.
I understand I need to CID unlock my phone before I can apply cooked roms. But after countless searches I cant find clear info on how to CID unlock my phone.
This really is a last resort, I have been rading for 2 days with no certainty of what to do next.
Thanks

USPL and HSPL do this for you so you are able to flash a rom or radio. Read this page from wiki. It'll help you understand
Follow cRaCKwHoRe's guide on how to flash (can be found in my signature). If you intend to do a lot of flashing I'd flash HSPL as its permanent whilst USPL is temporary and you'd need to re-use it before every flash to new rom or radio
Latest HSPL can also be found in my signature
Ah excellent thank you so much.
So can I flash straight to the newest 1.56 rom from my current version which is 1.19.61.1WWE on orange?
Or is there a stage in between I would have to do.
Thanks again.

Flashing from one HTC stock rom to another you don't need to use USPL or HSPL. But going to a cooked rom you do.
Answer to your query is it depends on route you take. If you go down the USPL route you'll need to follow cRaCKwHoRe's guide. Would take to long to explain and he as already done a very good tutorial on the subject. If you go down HSPL route, all you need to do is flash latest HSPL then 1.56 rom
That clears everything up. one last thing, which rom would you reccomend? I like the look of the enwer roms with WM6.
Thanks again much appreciated.

I'm currently testing Dutty's V3.4. His V3.3 is already released but I'd wait for the new release hopefully in a few days. Both are based on WM6.1. Alternatively their is so many good roms out there. I'd also recommend Davideuck, EnergyROM & L26_THDV2.2 (Laurentius26). All very good roms by very good cooks. Best thing would be to try each of them and make your own opinion
thanks again mate, you are a legend, Ill post tonight to let you know how it went.

There are a few forms of unlocking but the bottom line is that you need to bypass the checking which is done in the flash process.
One way is permanat as done once no issues anymore - HSPL
Another is as and when you need - USPL.
Wiki has a walk through that needs to be upated but I thought still was useable.
Flash the new 1.56 shipped rom and then move on to cooked roms. (will help you by pass the greenscreen issue)

Sorry to hijack your thread futurama but I am having the same problem. Could you let me know how you did it
Thanks HDuser. Not sure if you know where I`m up to but originally I flashed my Orange 1.19.61.1 ROM with USPL and then flashed Duttys 2.7 1.56 based ROM which has given me the green screen problem. An earlier poster suggested I flash Olinex HSPL 1.54 to cure the problem. The problem I am having now is the phone refuses to sync with the PC. I have tried Vista and XP, the PC does not hibernate or sleep or anything, the phone is set to not switch off. It will usually sync on first connection but after a few seconds it will disconnect and therefore HSPL is reporting as being disconnected.
I have tried the earlier HSPL and HSPL 1.56 (as the ROM in bootloader screen is reported as being 1.56 and SPL is 1.14). I feel I`m going round in circles and its only a matter of time before I brick the phone.
I have read and re-read the wikis but I am now just getting more and more confused.
davemazo
Look the best way to approach any problem is to go back to the roots.
Flash a stock rom, find your own stock rom and refalsh it, then take it from there.
Your post is missleading and I have no idea were to sart. One issue is your PC ist does not Hibanate, not or go into sleep mode, at the saem time you are saying that you can't sync. Sounds like you have other problems and those other problems are making you have problems with your device.
Thanks HDuser. Sorry for confusing you, but I am now totally confused myself, Basically though the phone does not sync with the PC, I have tried 2 PC`s, with Vista and XP.
But back to your point about flashing stock ROM, I have tried a link in the wiki to download the one I need which is Orange 1.19.61.1 but the link seems to be broken and I don`t know where else I can get it. It doesn`t seem to be on the Orange website or HTC.

There is a part on the black stone wiki that mentions I need to CID unlock my phone. It says you need to do this before you can flash roms, I felt it wasn't clear that, all I needed to do was flash HSPL in order to allow me to put new roms on.
This is what I did.
1:Flashed HSPL olinex 1.14.
2:Flashed HSPL Olinex1.56
3:Flashed MIRI WM6.5 10.0WWE
only part I had trouble with, my phone wouldnt let me flash the HSPL at first, I had to use a manual thing that you launch on the device the it lets you flash the HSPL.

It sounds as if you have it sorted now and everything working. As HDUser stated previously HSPL & USPL allows you to bypass the CID lock to enable you to flash new roms
Only thing I need clearing up, I can change my SPL back to the original version cant it?
Just incase anything goes tits up and I need to send it back

Remove Hard-SPL

Hi, can you help me with how to remove the Hard-SPL to upgrade to the original ROM for HTC Touch Pro 2. I'm from Bulgaria, the phone is not locked to an operator (AT & T Orange), etc. What files will I need and how. I also want to download the original Rom from the site of HTC. Thanks in advance!
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=550131
All info you need is here.
One note from my experience: first downgrade to original rom then install original spl. I had an issue, it was bricked, but all it needed was to one more time upgrade original rom.
You mean that you must first install the original Rom (I could not download it from HTC's site can help you). And then correct me if I'm wrong:
First you say to install the original ROM.
2nd to download RhodiumSPLRelocker_079SPL.zip unzip it and run. Exe
3rd Stock_SPL_Restore_084.zip to download and in the same way as putting a new ROM to choose it (unzip it first)
Do I need to do Hard Reset at any time? And maybe a little help otkade to download original ROM.
I did this from the link you gave me in boot loadera get out this Oninex, then I load again ROM-a which had previously tried to put my original and gave me an error
The instructions say to flash the stock ROM before you re-lock SPL.
I have failed to: (i already made a re-lock SPL ... now what to do: (
I am still with Energy ROM, which I had to do before re-spl .. in boot loadera now I do not go Olinex 0,85 as before ... what to do?
Sorry for my bad English!

i don't think you can re-lock your phone with custom rom on your phone but what you do is hard_spl it (if spl re-locked) then
task 29 ----> install stock rom ----> re-lock spl
good to go
Isteglih his RUU_Rhodium_S2_HTC_Europe_2.07.401.1_Radio_Rhodium _4.49.25.91_Signed_Ship
this is the right Stock Rom correct me if I'm wrong. Inastaliram it and to 0% gave me an error. - 294 Invalid Vender ID.
But it's not e what I need.
I'm not too far into things ...
Please help, now I can not get no ROM, and this olinex do not write anymore. and gives me an error any attempt to put the new ROM. Now when I work under the Energy ROM ...
Hi
Before flashing another rom, please use the tool called task29. get it here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=649191
Check here for another rom for your device http://rapidshare.com/#!download|33...dio_Rhodium_4.49.25.17_Signed_Ship.exe|180171
or here http://shipped-roms.com/index.php?category=windows mobile&model=Rhodium
use the SPL relocker tool LAST
Good luck!
Hello, thank you for the help you gave me, but I think we still have a problem (task29). Do the following:
1 - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=649191 here I lost my task29.zip.
2 - unzip it, inside there was task29, had ROMUpdateUtility.exe. ROMUpdateUtility.exe and opened as follows next .. next .. me and sticks to 0%.
In the above post I mentioned that yesterday I did relock SPL before I know that I need to do this first (I do not write now in olinex boot loadera). I think from there
:-( you're in bad way. look for some help here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=550540
The solutions mentioned above will NOT work, because you don't have hardspl installed.
Flash Hardspl again and then restore to stock rom and spl.
Guessed for it, but waited for someone to tell me. I will use this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=550131 and you will get new and will write what happened. Thanks!
I made myself a new Hard-SPL. After I did task29. After you've installed the new ROM. After I did Relock-SPL. Now everything is OK.
Many thanks to all who helped me!

How did you MAKE a new HardSPL ? When I did this mistake, I had to buy another HardSPL to unlock it because the license I had for the first time was already used up.
